You Gotta Love This Judge… English or Jail!
Peter Paul Olszewski, a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania judge, has ordered three young latino men, all school drop-outs, to learn to read and write english or go to jail, after their conviction on drug and gun-related charges.
“Do you think we are going to provide you a translator all your life?”, the judge asked them.
A lawyer for the trio is considering an appeal… probably on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment.
